is new to writing fiction, but—being fictional himself—has first-hand experience with it. The person who thought him up started out as a bookish nerd in a tiny Rust Belt town and is now a practicing attorney in a large city in the Southeastern US.  That guy’s been thinking up weird horror and sci-fi stories his whole life, but only recently started writing them down.  Red’s biography is pretty similar, but he’s a lot better looking.
